6. But Christ was faithful as a Son over His household. And we are that household if we hold on to the courage and the confidence of our hope.
7. Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:Today, if you hear His voice,
8. do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,on the day of testing in the wilderness,
9. where your fathers tested Me, tried Me,and saw My works
10. for 40 years.Therefore I was provoked with that generationand said, “They always go astray in their hearts,and they have not known My ways.”
11. So I swore in My anger,“They will not enter My rest.”
12. Watch out, brothers, so that there won’t be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart that departs from the living God.
13. But encourage each other daily, while it is still called today, so that none of you is hardened by sin’s deception.
14. For we have become companions of the Messiah if we hold firmly until the end the reality that we had at the start.
